Nice shot of the boats, Dennis. The water and the white sails were so pretty. I took several shots of them, but my didn't turn out as nice as this. #1096105

Thank you, Carol. I took several shots myself, and this one turned out the best. I have to admit even this shot did not look very good until I added the Buz and boosted the color. #7268718

Hi Dennis,
After reading your comment I tried some PS filters on my best shot of the boats -- I don't have either Buz or Topaz. I think it was just enough to make it an OK shot. It was just kind of dull before adding the effects. Still like yours best though. : ) #7269759

Hi Carol,

I find the filters in PS don't have enough 'kick' for my taste. I almost always adjust Levels in PS; then I often do a Curves adjustment. If the photo still needs something I bypass the PS filters and use Topaz. #7274039
